Happy New Year! I had greens and black eyed peas on New Year's day. One is for dollars and one is for change. Don't even get me started on Change - it's the year for that. I'm undergoing change. I'm on job search, day 4 and I've still been really busy. I think I have post-employment stress disorder, which is fairly cool given that I'm getting a solid payout. However, I'm working to identify my safety net, and soon. Being picky about a job in an economy where 2 million jobs were lost is probably not wise, but Crazy Miss J is well...crazy.
This year, I'm giving back. As my pastor says, "it's nice to be nice." So I'm shouting out the barista at Mocha Hut on U Street. She's awesome, always nice, always witty and edgy enough to make an unemployed, over-educated person like me feel good on a bad to. I raise my soy chai (which is the butteriest chai in DC, in case you were wondering) to you, awesome barista lady!
Alright, back to working on work,
Crazy Miss J

Seriously? A Race War? Over Roland Burris.
So, after watching the mess that was Blago's last press conference, i was grossed out. We, as African-Americans, on the heels of our biggest victory in American History are going to let Rod Blagojevich become the architect of our next race war? And now? After Bobby Rush championed Mr. Burris, tap-danced for him (http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/12/30/burris.transcript/) - he wants to take this to the Congressional Black Caucus? What do you think? I think it's a mess and we need to drop it. As a Black person, we now know that we don't have to shuck and jive for a Senate seat, so let's quit.
Mr. Burris, grow some dignity, and a spine and leave it alone. Mr. Rush, please take some time away. Run, don't walk away from Blago, leave the CBC out of it. Give our new President an inauguration gift and go home, sit down and cheer from afar. You've done enough.
